ORE. r Friday, Jund 15, 1934 BAER IS CROWNED NEW CHAMPION IN STARTLING UPSET Referee Stops Fight After Eleven Rounds; Cai'- nera Knocked Down Many Times. , By Alan Mould (Associated Proas Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Juno 15 W) Rever berating today Irom the smashing savagery of the most spectacular bat tle of big men In nearly eleven years of ring history, the fight world ac claimed a new heavyweight champion of the world Max Adcibcrt Bner of California, a curly-haired wolf of a man who combines a contemptuous grin and the stage- tnannerlsmu of a movie actor with a killing right hand punch. With magnificent gestures, absolute disdain for anything his giant foe could do and a sporadic but vicious onslaught, Baer stopped the huge but helpless Prlmo Camera In the eleventh round of a fifteen round match before a roaring crowd of 02,- 000 In Madison Square Garden's Long Island bowl, thereby ending the I' Al lan's one-year rule at the top of the heavyweight heap abruptly and bring ing the crown back to the United States. Camera was knocked down no less than eleven times from the force of Baer's smashing blows befor0 Referee Arthur Donovan stopped the one elded affair, with only 44 seconds to go In the eleventh round, and award ed the verdict to the broad-shouldered, 26 year old American on a tech nical knockout. The giant, 203 pound Italian was mill on his feet at the finish, after toravcly trying to continue agalmt odds that he knew were overwhelm ing against him, but he was a bloody, reeling wreck of a fighting man and he was muttering "flnl Jlnll" in ut ter helplessness when tho referee do cided finally to halt the slaughter. Camera was knocked down throe times within tho first minute of fighting as Baer loosed a succession of long, dymunltc-laden right hando to the head, followed by bruising IcfU to tho body. The Italian was down throe times again in the second round, with Baer rowing on top of him os they waged tne vtvacn Kina of a meloe. For tho Bovcnth time In three rounds, tho giant was flopped to his haunches in tho third, still too bowlldorod to take anything like i count and recover his wits. He ral lied bravely for tho next few rounds tout In tho olghth ho sprawled full length to the floor from the fore of an Ineffectual lungo. Only tho bell eaved Prlmo from a knockout In tho tenth round, at ono statre of which Donovan stopped be tween them and changed his mind nftor giving every indication of his intention to stop the fight. Twice in this round and twice more, in the eleventh, the toppling tower of Italy went down under crushing blows Absolutely dazed, his face a blotchy red from tho terrific pounding he had received and his features distort ed In grolcsauo bewilderment, Car. ncra was led stumbling from tho ring efter tho most severe boating any heavywolnht champion has asborbed since Jack Dempaoy pounded Jess Wlllard Into a bloody pulp In three rounds at Toledo in 1010. History repeated itself In this re spect as the 210 pound Baer, spoiung his giant foe inoro than 50 pounds, proved that a devastating punch can wipe out any and all physical bur ners or handicaps, and Dempaoy, the old "man mauler" was one of tho first to rush Into the ring to slap the broad back of his California pro tege. For tho thrills of savngo conflict and th0 bellowing roar of tho crowd for the '11111," Boor's stunning victory surpasses anything that hau happened among heavyweights sinco Dempaoy knocked out Luis Angel Firpo of the Argentine In two spectacular rounds at tho polo grounds In 1023. For two rounds last night thcro wa-i more blistering action than a whol0 car load of heavyweight bouta have pro duced In tho last half dozen yoars and tho crowd accorded an ovation to the handsome carelessly confident youth who hns glvon pugilism an other bone-crushing puncher to got excited about. Tho CUlfornian'a lopsided mastery of the giant who has Htalketl through tho heavyweight ranks. h!a powers still something of a mystery until they were Icrt scattered all over the premised last night, furnished the climax to one of the most extraord inary of all heavyweight title matches. Declared unlit to fight by ono of New York's boxing commis sioners, Bill Brown, only a week ago. Baer notonly enjoyed the Iiust big laugh but convincingly demonstrated that the "wine money" knew where It was going when a belated flood of wagering sent the challenger Into the ring a 5 to 6 shot to capturc the championship.

Whether because ho was some-what arm-weary from his open Ing three-round assault or because ho decided to take his time and give the crowd a run for Its money as he strutted his fanciest stuff, Baer re laxed his attack for the better part of the next four rounds. Thoro was never much question about the outcome after tho first few stashing right handers bowled Car- nera off his feet. Although tho big man continually did nenrly all the leading, while Baer backed slowly away or side-stepped with tho ease of a dancer, there was no tlmo when Prlmo's stlffost left Jabs or faltering right hand uppcrcuts cauwed Baer to do anything but made a derisive face. The gross gate receipts of 9428.302. 80 marked tho biggest "gato" since tho first Sharkey-Schmellng fight In 1030 and marked another big upturn for tho fight Industry, with a new champion ready to seek fresh social and theatrical conquests as well as greater fistic laurels.
